Natural Hair

So I'm thinking about going natural. I have been a slave to the creamy crack(relaxer cremes) for too long. I just love the versatility of natural hair that I just cannot get with relaxed hair.

Her hair is amazing.

So many delusional black women have been conned into think that their natural hair is sub par and that relaxed her is "better" and "easy to manage". I say this is bullshit. They've never even tried to manage their hair. They just slab on a relaxer as soon as they see one wave. It's ridiculous. It's women like that that make black women look bad. Their hair never gets past shoulder length because they put ridiculous harsh chemicals on their hair every four weeks. The wear the same shoulder length hair but say it's versatile.

I have vowed that when I have children, I will not relax their hair(you can hold me to it). I can't teach them to love themselves an love all the features that God gave them if I continue to relax my own hair.

Some people think that they will not get respect in the workplace if they do not have straight hair but I just don't buy it. If your workplace cannot accept the fact that you are black and have kinky, curly, black, afro-textured hair, then you probably shouldn't be working there. They have no respect for you or who you are.

I am a big face of hair forums such as Black Hair Media and Long Hair Care Forum. These two sites have really opened me up to the possibility of going natural and embracing the hair that I was born to have.

Enough said.

Fakebooking

I hate it. For those of you who do not know, fakebooking is a regular person(usually an obsessed fan) creating a fake facebook or myspace account. I think it is just so pathetic.

Seriously, like you spend all your time posing as a celebrity on facebook. Why? For the attention I'm assuming. Probably some pimply faced dude that doesn't get laid often or something. I just feel like it really ridiculously to spend your days posing as someone you are not.

Get a life already

I'm back!

So, I've been stricken with strep throat for this past week or so but glad to let you know that I am back at about 95% and ready to return to blogging.

Fashion: Trend Watch

The upcoming Fall season will bring many traditional pieces to the forefront of fashion. This past Spring 2009 Fashion Week showcased heavy fabrics like wool, tweed and houndstooth patterns, bubble skirts, shiny fabrics, lace, one shoulder dresses(inspired by Michelle Obama's fabulous Inaugural Ball Gown), jackets and suits. These basic pieces are recession chic and sure to spice up anyone's closet.

The Snuggie

This shit should be illegal. This is the Snuggie. It is marketed as a blanket with sleeves. Umm. While I do enjoy being kept warm with a blanket, I don't really feel the need to wear one. The creators of this contraption must have been smoking some good stuff. The first time I this on T.V., I was like WTF?

Have Americans really gotten that simple? We are in a recession and you want to market this useless bullshit to the general public?

Please stop the madness and use a regular blanket.
